Radiation processing produces very little chemical changes in food. None of the changes known to occur have been found to be harmful. The radiolytic products and free radicals produced are identical to those present in foods subjected to treatment such as cooking, canning etc. Highly sensitive scientific tests carried out during the past 30 years have failed to detect any new chemical product in radiation-processed foods.
